Yea that could be true, I like City as a team without a number 9, the football is a lot more fluid! I don’t think Grealish will be a great signing, he slows the play down too much and he’s not on the level of KDB and Foden is also better.

That's an interesting one. Ronaldo is quality but he does his own thing. I can't see Pep getting a 36 year old egomaniac to change his ways so he'll have to accept Ronaldo as he is. That means that Ronaldo won't be contributing to the defensive unit or press. He will be a great addition in the box and to any counter attacking moves. He is still well worth signing for sure and will fill a gap for the next year or two. 
Yeah I don't think this is a Pep signing. City's game doesn't look to be suited to Ronaldo. I'd say it's an owner thing.

Qatar owners signed Messi
Abu Dhabi try to outdo them and sign Ronaldo
 
Agreed. I'd imagine Guardiola wanted Kane but once Ronaldo became available the owners couldn't resist the star power - not to mention the opportunity to avoid dealing with Levy anymore. He'll significantly boost the profile of the club.

It'll be tough seeing Ronaldo going to City but agree with Brendan that a defensive midfielder is more important if the funds are being spent.

Pep will want a centre forward, no question about that. 
One who's good in the air - they fire in a lot of crosses in games, and who can take penalties will be welcome i'm sure. 
Question marks over whether he suits their style of play all the same, doesn't seem to still have it in his legs to press. 
Thats IF they get him

100% not a Pep signing, it’s no coincidence on the day Ronaldo went 1/7 to join City that Pep talked about leaving when his current contract finishes

Pep's comments were from two days ago, the same day as Kane announced he was staying at Spurs, maybe that was a coincidence

Ronaldo only went 1/7 last night/this morning

Ronaldo to City was 4/7 this morning. Interestingly 7/4 to United now. 

1/7 was Wednesday night/Thursday morning. 

Edit. United evens to sign him now

Reading quotes from Guardiola and Solksjaer's press conferences today, it seems that he's closer to joining Man United. 

Pep said he's happy with what he has and "we will stay the same" and its up to Ronaldo where he wants to go not Manchester City
Solksjaer saying they've always had close communication with CR and he knows they'd be interested if he is leaving Juve

That's it then, City saying they're not signing him they were offered him this week and considered it but decided against. 
Path clear now for United to sign him back

Crazy transfer window this.

Possibly
He would never choose City between the two all things being equal

Peps presser suggested he was more frustrated at not getting Kane than anything, didn’t seem bothered about CR

Bernardo Silva and Ferran Torres were brilliant today 

Teams around Europe should be mad for Silva, lovely footballer and isn’t happy in Manchester

Seems Silva will be staying....he probably was only going if someone came in really....but he was class today.he’s a victim of his own versatility,I think if he played one position he’d nail it down.

Those are very serious charges against Mendy. When you are dealing with one accusation there will always be some doubt, but three different women on separate times looks bad.
It would damage this forums' reputation

He's to remain in prison until his trial on January 24th and has been refused bail. 
Sounds very serious alright.
